They are talking about the possibility of banning it in some isolated Aboriginal communities which are already ‘dry’ and where there is a serious problem with alcohol abuse.

Not a general ban across the country.

Oh. Still, the same question: would they prevent these people from buying baking yeast?

Note, these aboriginal communities choose to declare themselves ‘dry’ - it’s their choice, not something imposed on them from outside. The purpose of a ban is to give them the power to enforce their decision, by making it harder for people to circumvent the restrictions. And, yes, such a ban can also be applied to baking yeast, if that is an issue.

Aboriginal communities have a problem with sniffing gasoline.

And the Prime Minister already said it's not going to happen. In other words, a non-story.

Pretty rough to ban something as ubiquitous as yeast.
Working Saudi I know it’s not possible....

Folks will always find a way. In New Mexico, some of the reservations have restricted the sale of hairspray because it is used to make a drink called “Ocean” that is high in alcohol.
